Internet Money Making With Affiliate Marketing And Forums
Making money on the Internet can be easy when you create or sell affiliate programs. If you can market your product correctly it will be some easy and fast money!
Signatures in Forums
1. Find a forum that is tailored to your niche or product and put your affiliate link in your signature if the site allows it.
2. Stay active in the community and start conversations and start solving problems for people. Making money on the Internet is all about solving problems! If you solve a problem for enough people they will want to know how you did it. Tell them openly and honestly. That is what Internet money making is all about. Be transparent!
3. Build credibility and rapport by joining forums. Link to your articles, blog posts and affiliate links whenever possible. Never pass up an opportunity to drop one of your links when the timing is right. Part of making money on the Internet is doing what other people wont do. They are afraid to "link bait" or promote themselves. Isn't that the point of making money on the Internet? Self-promotion? You can link to your products and programs but use discretion when doing so.
Link Building and Link Baiting
4. Some forums do not allow affiliate link programs in the signature but do allow a link to your site where there is a review or article that does have a link. Use this to your advantage and dedicate a whole blog page to a review or product.
Anchor Text Times Three!
5. Always use anchor text (with keywords. See Internet Money Making: Affiliate Programs: Article Marketing) and usually the maximum is three links. If you are allowed three - use three. If you are allowed more use them all! If a forum does not offer the anchor text ability look for other forums that do. Dofollow is best but not necessary. If it is a high traffic site with an active community the traffic will outweigh the backlink.
I cannot stress enough do not type out the entire URL with the "http://" and so on. Do not use TinyUrl or Bitly as most forums do not allow them.
Images and Banners
6. There are forums that allow you to insert a banner or image with a link to your product. Take advantage of this and use it! Use the signature links to build backlinks and traffic to your site.
Start Your Own Forum!
7. Making money on the Internet is so easy when you have your own forum. Anything goes when you are the forum owner. You can post affiliate links directly to products and post as often as you like. In your forum control panel set your links to "dofollow". This will help build page rank and will be incentive for other users to visit forum, post their affiliate links and build one-way backlinks to their site. There are several ways to start a forum:
